Very Large Hawkes Gravic Apple Tazza

This is one of the finer examples of Hawkes Gravic I’ve had the opportunity to sell. As a general rule, when there’s polished Gravic engraving, with this type of vine around the edge, you’re looking at a higher quality piece of Gravic work. The base of the tazza is signed with the Hawkes Gravic trademark.

Deep apples adorn the perimeter of this tazza. These apples are so remarkably deep and well-polished. It’s hard to believe that someone had to achieve this with just their hands and eyes. Stylized stems and leaves drape from the rim/vine and connect the dangling apples with the rest of the piece. The base is finished with these types of leaves as well.

The tazza is quite large, measuring 9 1/4″ wide and 6″ tall. It’s in perfect condition with hardly a scratch on it on a thick, clear blank.
